    EXERCISE:

    ● Doing exercise regularly improves mental health by reducing


    stress, anxiety, depression, and negative mood and by improving
    self-esteem and cognitive function. Exercise has also been found
    to alleviate symptoms such as low self-esteem and social
    withdrawal.
    ● Exercise has positive effects on the brain. Exercise pumps blood to
    the brain, which can help you to think more clearly.It increases the
    size of the hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for
    memory. It also increases the connections between the nerve cells
    in the brain. This improves your memory and helps protect your
    brain against injury and disease.
    ● It can also improve our sleep, which is important in many different
    ways. Because of the body’s need to recover from exercise, your
    brain will make you tired earlier and help you sleep more soundly
    throughout the night. The human body recovers at night when we
    sleep; this is the most profound effect of recovery from training
    sessions. Without sleep, you will not progress very far in your
    quest for fitness. Luckily your brain has your back on this one.
    ● Increased Happiness: Exercise can increase the release of “happy
    chemicals” called endorphins, which act in a similar fashion as
    pain medicine interacting with your brain’s neurotransmitters. Don’t
    worry, no addiction here. These endorphins release naturally by
    exercise and have been shown to reduce depression and increase
    feelings of “euphoria” post-workout. In addition, exercising
    outdoors can also give you a boost of happiness.
    ● Better Self Confidence: Many factors make this a great benefit
    from exercise. First off, your social skills get a “workout” leading to
    more confidence in and out of the gym. You will likely be more
    confident in the gym environment which will carry over to other
    aspects of your career and personal life. Lastly, you will also be
    improving your positive self-image and self-talk, all the while
    increasing the perception of your self-worth.
    ● More Energy: When we exercise, our blood flow is increased,
    which helps carry oxygen and nutrients to our muscles and
    makes us more energized and alert. As stated above, with
    improved sleep quality comes improved energy since our
    bodies are getting the rest it needs. Research shows that
    people who work out regularly are generally more productive
    in both work and personal life. This is also coupled with the
    fact that their positive self-talk is increasing which has a great
    effect on the perception or feeling of being awake and full of
    energy. Lastly, because people exercising are also more likely
    to make healthy nutritional choices, they also have the
    perception of more energy and consume less caffeine daily.
